Jared Cook Week 3 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 24th 2020, 10:28am EDT

Who would've thought that Cook would see fewer targets with Michael Thomas out of the lineup? This has been the life of Cook fantasy owners through the years. Tight ends have only been targeted seven times against the Packers this year, but every single one of those targets have been caught for 101 yards, though no touchdowns. That 14.4 yards per target is the most in the league. In the same defensive scheme last year, this defense allowed eight tight ends to post top-12 numbers against them, though it's worth noting that seven of them saw six-plus targets. That's a number Cook should get to, though after last week's oddball performance from the Saints, nothing should shock you. I'd still say he's a lock for five-plus targets and that makes him a low-end TE1 with upside should the Saints offense return to form.
